   a few years ago, there was some Apple data backed up   
   by iTunes that "exposed" locations.   
   I analyzed the data, coincidentally including a trip   
   to Disneyland. it definitely showed that we were somewhere   
   adjacent to I-5, and even that we were somewhere near   
   Disneyland.   
   Around home, it was not fine enough to know what street   
   we were on, much less whose bedroom.   
      
   querying a Google database for someone else's MAC location   
   used to be allowed, but is no longer.   
   And it was only ever access points, not the attached clients.
